EndemolShine Fiction & Black Sheep Strengthen Ties

EndemolShine Fiction has renewed its exclusive co-development and co-production partnership with Black Sheep Films.

Black Sheep produces scripted series for broadcasters and streaming platforms in France and worldwide. Most recently, it produced Patricia Moore for the digital platform Blackpills. It also adapted and produced Mental seasons one and two for France.tv/slash.

Dominique Farrugia, EndemolShine Fiction’s managing director, said: “Renewing this partnership brings so much opportunity for both parties and allows us to support Augustin and Mathieu in their French and international growth. Together we are positive in our ambitions in bringing further originals and high-end scripted series to the fore.”

Black Sheep Co-Founder Augustin Bernard said: “We are very grateful for the freedom and trust that Dominique Farrugia, François de Brugada and all of Banijay’s teams are placing in us. It is the perfect mix of the agility of an independent structure and the strength of an international group. We share the common goal of growing and becoming an unmissable creative player in the TV industry and are very happy to pursue this alliance.”

Co-Founder Mathieu Van de Velde added: “We have the incredible luck of continuing our relationship with Dominique and François, whose ambitions and strategy are aligned with ours. The partnership mirrors what we do creatively: create strong local original series that tap into global audiences.”
